Toyota RAV4 RAV4, XA30

2 variants from the facelift on, carrying a real market premium of roughly 9% over an otherwise identical pre-facelift car. Variants appearing in both tables were sold either side of the changeover, the build month decides which one you're looking at, not the model year.

Every standard engine in the chassis, plotted at its good-buy price against its risk level. Cheap and low-risk is the top-left; expensive and fragile is the bottom-right. M cars are excluded, they would stretch the price axis and tell you nothing about the rest.

Every standard engine on one euro axis: the bar spans the 10th to 90th percentile of asking prices, the tick is the median and the green marker is the good-buy figure. GR cars are excluded; they sit an order of magnitude above the rest.

Written once against the chassis and shown on every variant page below, so nothing here is repeated 2 times: GR cars included, since the bodyshell and electronics are shared.

Best value: 2.0 Valvematic petrol, which has no diesel-specific expense waiting and will simply keep going. The 2.2 D-4D is the one that needs paperwork, since the cylinder head on that engine family can distort and the repair is large. Ask about journey history on any diesel, because short trips and failed regenerations are what cause the damage. So check the four-wheel-drive system engages and look at the rear tailgate hinges for corrosion.
